What Is A Tigerloop?

A Tigerloop is an oil deaerator used in oil heating systems. Its primary function is to remove air and gases from heating oil before it enters the burner. By eliminating air pockets, the Tigerloop ensures a steady, gas-free supply of oil, which improves combustion efficiency and prolongs the life of the heating system.

Understanding the Different Tigerloop Models

Tigerloop offers a range of models to suit various applications. Let’s take a closer look at the differences between them:

Tigerloop Original

• The third-generation automatic oil deaerator, first introduced in 1971.
• Designed for standard domestic oil heating systems.
• Requires an external oil filter for installation.
• Maximum operating temperature of 60°C.
• Must be installed externally.

Tigerloop Twin

• Features two Tigerloop Original units connected in parallel.
• Designed for commercial and industrial applications with larger burners (up to 2000 kW).
• Comes with a separate oil filter for enhanced performance.

Tigerloop Combi

• Similar to the Tigerloop Original but includes an integrated disposable 15-micron particulate filter.
• Ensures additional fuel cleanliness in one easy installation.

Tigerloop Bio

• Made from durable metal materials, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations in the UK and Ireland.
• Compatible with Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (HVO) and kerosene.
• Designed to meet modern energy-saving and environmental standards.

What is HVO?

HVO (Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil) is an alternative fuel with several advantages:

• Up to 90% lower emissions compared to traditional fuels.
• Stable and sustainable.
• Biodegradable and non-toxic.
• Reliable performance all year round.

Tigerloop Bio Combi

• Made from metal, making it suitable for both internal and external installation in the UK and Ireland via the connection of a vent pipe.
• Compatible with HVO and kerosene.
• Integrated filter* and optional vacuum gauge.
• *NB: Comes standard with a 100-150 micron nickel mesh. For non-bio applications, the standard combi foam filter can be fitted (50-70 micron).
• Simplifies installation with fewer connections, reducing the risk of leakage.

Tigerloop Bio Twin

• Integrates two Tigerloop Bio Deaerators to double the deaeration capacity in one easy install.
• Compatible with HVO & kerosene.
• Comes complete with filter bowl and filter element in box.
• Perfect for commercial or industrial applications with larger burners of up to 2000 kW.

Tigerloop Plus

• Combines a Tigerloop Original with a vacuum meter, shut-off valve, and spin-on paper filter.
• Developed for enhanced filtration with an extensive filtration area of 1850 cm² and a filtration grade of 20 microns.
• Ensures cleaner, air-free oil for optimal burner performance.

Advantages of Using a Tigerloop

The Tigerloop provides numerous benefits that improve the efficiency and longevity of oil heating systems, including:

• Gas-free oil to the burner – Ensures smooth operation and prevents burner malfunction.
• Eliminates the need for a return line to the tank – Simplifies installation and reduces costs.
• Reduced oil consumption – More efficient fuel usage leads to savings over time.
• Less soot build-up – Helps maintain a cleaner system with fewer maintenance requirements.
• Only the required amount of oil is drawn from the tank – Minimises waste and ensures optimal fuel usage.
• Higher efficiency and cleaner combustion – Enhances overall system performance and reduces environmental impact.

Conclusion

The Tiger Loop deaerator is an essential component for anyone using an oil heating system. By choosing the right model based on your specific needs, you can significantly enhance efficiency, reduce fuel consumption, and ensure cleaner combustion.
